Brian: Are you eating a donut?
Jessica: Why, yes I am.
Brian: That looks so good!
Jessica: I have had such a sweet tooth lately, I couldn’t resist.
Brian: I can’t eat sugar right now, but I love donuts. I love them when they’re deep-fried.
Jessica: They are delicious. And why can’t you eat donuts right now?
Brian: I’m on a diet.
Jessica: Wow, that sounds really, really difficult.
Brian: It is. Especially when you have a variety of donuts in a pink box just waiting to be eaten.
Jessica: I know! They’ve become so trendy, and such a fad lately around here.
Brian: Well, I can see the appeal. It’s a tasty dessert that is crunchy and creamy at the same time. I want a donut so bad.
Jessica: It’s true. This is delicious. I’d share it with you, but you’re doing a cleanse.
Brian: I know. That looks really fancy, too. Is that an artisanal donut?
Jessica: Why, yes it is, Brian.
Brian: It looks like there’s some cereal on top of that.
Jessica: I was just going to say that! Fruit Loops. They’re delicious!
